Archie Bradley punched out 11 batters and gave up two runs in seven innings to beat the Padres 9-5 on Saturday.

Most impressively he did it without walking anyone. Bases-on-balls have been Bradley's bugaboo throughout his professional career but he kept that in check tonight. The 24-year-old rookie struck out more than a batter per inning this year and has top-of-the-rotation upside if he can harness his control. He ends the season with an 8-9 record and a 5.02 ERA in 26 starts. He fanned 143 batters and walked 67 in 141 2/3 innings. Oct 1 - 11:47 PM

Archie Bradley coughed up four runs over 3 2/3 frames but escaped with a no-decision in Monday's 14-4 win over the Nationals.

Bradley managed to record five strikeouts, but he gave up six hits and walked four batters, needing a whopping 97 pitches over his 3 2/3 innings. The D'Backs bullpen took it from there and yielded only three baserunners across 5 1/3 scoreless frames the rest of the way. Bradley will conclude his uneven season this weekend versus the Padres.

Archie Bradley surrendered two runs on two hits over five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Bradley struck out seven and walked three on the evening, finishing out his five innings of work having thrown 96 pitches (59 strikes). The 24-year-old right-hander has pitched to an uncomfortable 5.02 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 127/63 K/BB ratio over 136 innings. A road showdown with the Nationals shows next on his schedule.

Archie Bradley turned in a quality start in Thursday's win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on nine hits over six-plus innings.

Bradley struck out seven and walked two on the evening. He finished his six-plus innings of work having thrown 88 pitches (64 strikes). For the season as a whole, the 24-year-old right-hander owns an unsightly 5.07 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 126 innings. He will try to drop the ERA under 5.00 in a road start against the Padres next time he toes the rubber. Sep 16 - 12:22 AM

A.J. Pollock (groin) told Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale that he thought he was "going to feel much better" when he ran on Friday.

Pollock was hoping to make a late-season return from a strained groin that he suffered a little over two weeks ago, but this little setback should effectively end his campaign. "He wants to get back in there," Hale said, "and obviously we’re not going to let him run the bases or get in a game until he can run 100 percent without pain."

Rosenthal says of Greinke that the Diamondbacks "are not marketing him aggressively, in part because they are reluctant to eat salary." Greinke is owed $172.5 million over the next five seasons and would receive a $2 million assignment bonus if traded. He can also block a deal to 15 teams, is 33 and is coming off a season that saw him post a 4.37 ERA. The D'Backs would surely have to absorb a chunk of his contract in order to move him, but for now it sounds like they'll hang tight.

Taijuan Walker said Thursday that he was dealing with 10 bone spurs in his right foot this past season.

Ouch. Walker said that the bone spurs impacted his ability to push off and use lower body, which would certainly explain why he faded after getting off to a strong start. He finally had surgery in October to remove a bone fragment from his ankle. The Diamondbacks acquired him as the centerpiece of the Jean Segura trade last week and clearly believe in his potential. Interestingly, Walker noted Thursday that he would like to use his two-seamer more often, especially as he makes the move to Chase Field. Walker gave up 27 home runs in just 134 1/3 innings this past season.

The Diamondbacks are still waiting for the results. Chafin was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday but hasn't appeared in any games yet. He tweaked his shoulder while warming up Friday night, which prompted the MRI. The 26-year-old holds a 6.75 ERA over 32 relief outings this season.
